The changes Kieran Herron has seen since joining the Aurivo IT team ten years ago has been immense. Back then no one had a smart phone or was too worried about cyber attacks or phishing. Now all three are commonplace.

“Even within the IT department in Aurivo, things have changed dramatically over that time. We used to have a server in every store and location. Now, we have two main data centres, at Head Office and at the Mill, hosting 60 servers. And all of these servers are backed up at another data centre in Cork.

“Everyone now uses their smart phone for work emails, our milk suppliers have hand-held devices and there are lots of company laptops – and everything needs to be kept secure and up to date.”

Kieran’s role is less Business Systems and more related to the infrastructure on which all the software is run. He is concerned with the CIA of Aurivo’s information security – confidentiality, integrity and availability to you and me.

‘We make sure the data is safe. This involves a real balancing act between protecting ourselves from hackers and ensuring that everything is kept as up-to-date as possible.’
